Master Chief Skin Details - December 3

Update:@Hypex on Twitter has since confirmed some designs, here is how Chief will look if he releases!

We may also seem some alternative outfits, we’d predict either a classic OG Halo variant or maybe the option to change the armour’s colour!

With all the crazy lore reveals in Fortnite right now it would be appropriate if two Red Spartans could wonder why they are there, on an island in the middle of nowhere.

Master Chief Glider, Emote and Pickaxe - December 3

Leaked images from @ShinaBR on Twitter suggest we could be getting a few cosmetics.

The glider would be the iconic UNSC Pelican.

A Lil’Warthog Emote would let you ride, you guessed, a tiny Warthog from Halo.

And then this final leak comes from a reply to @ShinaBR’s tweet, with the Gravity Hammer Pickaxe.

The Pickaxe has since been confirmed by @HYPEX on Twitter as being legitimate!

We'd have love to see the Energy Sword, but we can't win every time right?
